CHICAGO, August 6.-The Times this morning
says: There is music In the air again regarding
rates between Chicago and 81. Paul. with an excel
lent prospect OF a still further reduction IN
through rates below the tarin put in by the Min
nesota and Northwestern. There Is no doubt OF
the fact that the Burlington and Northern has
given the association, through Chairman J. \.
intention 20 change the through rates and there
is hardly any question that when the term ex-
pires it will put In rates from 2S 10 :S per cent
lower than the tariff which went into effect Au-
gust I. IL Is understood that The reasons OF the
Burlington and Northern FOR taking this step-n
it does take ills that the REDUCTION made on
Monday last on the pretense OF meeting lake COM
petition fails 20 accomplish that object and is but
a halfway measure which Will not secure any
more business for the competing lines than the
old high-tarin rates

On Account OF the Severe Drought. it
In Not Very Favorable.
CHICAGO, August 6.-The Times this morning
gives reports from various points in the western
States showing the condition OF the crops. The
drought has been uncommonly severe In most OF
the territory covered by these advices, and the
sum or the Information obtained is not favorable.
others have suffered very seriously. In Illinois
the dry spell has been especially disastrous. The
yield OF hay has been light, the crop OF oats Is
poets for corn are decidedly discouragng. From
present advtceS IL is reasonable 70 state that
about half the usual yield will be obtained
Many counties report prospects for considerable
less than half crop, while only very few, espe-
cialy favored localities, report an average. About
SO per cent OF the usual yield would seem TO be in
dicated by the advices from the State. In the
great corn center In the middle OF the state many
OF the farmers are cutting up the stalks for fodder
too late to do any good.
In Indiana the drought has done much damage
four weeks, and the recent showers have been OF
light benefit. In some localities the corn crop is
total failure, and In no portion OF the state Is
One-fourth OF q crop is the tenor OF the reports
from this State. Hay Is but poor crop, and oats
are short OF the usual production. In Wisconsin

Some localities report falling on In corn but the

seems to be true Of Michigan and Ohio. West West
OF the Mississippi the advtces are much
more encouraging. Plentiful rains have fallen
recently In Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, which
have been OF untold benefit to the corn. The SEC
retary OF the Iowa Agricultural Society reports a
probable corn yield or zoe, 600 600 bushels which
Is some thirty million bushels In excess OF the
short crop OF last year. Advices from various
points OF the State bear out this view. In only q
few localities Is the corn poor. Some OF the cOun-
ties, indeed report prospects OF bigger crop than
usual and In most every locality the stand is ex.

The prospects in Kansas and Missouri are for q
fair average crop. Reports from two hundred
points on the Kansas City and Fort Scott Road In
dicate an average yield OF about IS bushels to
the acre. In Kansas the drought has been severe,
an average crop is looked for. The southern half
OF Nebraska has been badly scorched, and the corn
there Is poor. But the prospects In other parts OF
